better than Maiden

Now let's face and hand up: Who has the last Maiden album "Dance Of Death" buy out of habit and because Bruce Dickinson sings it? Quite a few! We metalheads are just abiding habit buyer.
Now has four years have passed since the land and Best Of Metal Super singer Bruce Dickinson has conjured up a new solo album entitled "Tyranny Of Souls" out of the hat. Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith and colleague is no longer there, but guitarist, co-songwriter and producer Roy Z .. With him and drummer David Moreno, as well as the keyboard player with the pseudonym Maestro Mysterio Englishman ballert finest Metal on all cylinders! There is surprise (!), Aha experiences and great songs that are not recycled but sound very fresh and strong.
Thematically apocalyptic topics, which you can already guess by looking at the cover, a painting by Hans Memling (circa. 1485). Musically, Dickinson beside fat Riffmonstern as "Abduction", slightly worn fabric like "Soul Intruders" also poetically balladesque a la "Navigate The Seas Of The Sun" or mid-tempo rockers like the theme song. Everything sounds fresh and exciting. The riffs sit 100% and on the Sangesleistung of Bruce I have nothing to say!
Are there flaws? Yes, a short play time! "Tyranny Of Souls" is otherwise awesome and must be arrested by any Bruce / Maiden fan! The man is getting better with age.
